I swear to you I never did,

Though of you my mind won't be rid

Rid of memories

When we were friends and enemies

Our energy, what I try to suppress

built up inside of me

Desperately, I scream out to the night "just let me be!"

I don’t love you.

But with the tides I turn to the moons light,

To your eyes I toss and turn each night,

Bright comes the sun

 but pale in comparison,

To shared low laughs ,

and secret smiles of

Syrupy sweet seduction.

I don’t love you.

Wars of words wrought not

For skin deep sport but to spot

A weakness, deflect

To keep this withering shell

Hell, I'm hollowed.

Bell, sweet chime!

Of the one least divine

Mine is his, soul and mind

If I tell myself one more time

I don’t love you.

But I'll never let you see

Me, so deflect and hide,

Hide the smold'ring lie

Inside, so fervent a burn do I

Conceal, when I tell myself

"these words are real."

I don’t love you.
